h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

*Arten raises a small black cylinder the size of the hilt of a sword above his head, and from it extends a thin, bluish blade, immediately skewering an apple falling toward his head. The apple remains near the tip of the blade, and Arten dips it in a nearby caramel stream.*

perfect.

*spears apple using grappling hook*
*laughs*
You gods think you're all that...

How many times must I say, I'm not a god? I'm certainly capable of many odd things, but I specifically arrived at the "request for godhood" forum just to say precisely that: "you gods think you're all that."

*Using his previously stated annoying apparent omnipotence, Arten Tesseracts the apple back onto his Blade, sits down and starts munching.*

I was reffering to Caper Plip and the shower of Apples.

My apologies.

Not to be a spoil sport, and nit pick one tiny thing... but Arten, are you sure you used the word Tesseracts correctly?

"Using his previously stated annoying apparent omnipotence, Arten Tesseracts the apple back onto his Blade, sits down and starts munching."

Unless I am totally stupid (and I don't believe myself to be) Tesseracts are the fourth dimentional representation of a cube. So unless I missed something, your sentence which I quoted does not make sense.

I'm not all that! Well, apart from taking a long break from battling I haven't had a chance to show my stuff! It was a comic moment! It's my job to cause random showers here and there, anyway!



Maybe Arten meant 'Tesselates the apple back'?

Tesla... Now THERE'S power...

Tesseract was, I believe, a noun /and/ a verb. I might be wrong, but I remember them using it in that form. In any case, if we're going to be technical I have to tell you that the cube was Charles Wallace's device for explaining and leveling the dimensions. The Tesseract itself was a /fifth/ (not fourth) dimensional warp in /four/ dimensional space-time. I suppose, then, that it would make sense for it to be used as a noun or a verb, because it's essentially a synonym for warp with a specialized object, and a board is most certainly capable of warping (although I wish it weren't). You probably don't care at this point, so I'll stop now. Thank you for pointing that out, though, I might look into it.

*catches one last falling apple in his hand, dips it in the caramel stream and hands it to Mystrunner*

for the angry outburst.

Thanks!
*Takes apple and spears it on a knife*

You'd think the Bombshell Godess would be more concerned about her followers.
*Looks at the groaning followers*

...my followers would be groaning why?

Posting 110, I think. http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/alabaster/F72944?thread=129975&skip=100&show=20 . Rather crude, methinks.

You use Alabaster? Yuck... no wonder you wanna stay mortal.

*shrugs and fiddles around with the space/time continuum. With a pop, a lightly roasted sausage in a bun falls into his hand*

oh, now who'd you steal that from?

*looks at it disdainfully*
from the look of it, Foul Ole Ron.

anyone there?? [voice echoes around stone henge]

I am... at times.

do you want to battle then?

I kinda retired... but I could play around if ya like

OK, but why did you retire? Scared you'd be beaten!?!
